Matt Damon and Scarlett Johannsson in photos from We Bought A Zoo

After teasing you yesterday with Cameron Crowe’s thoughts on a SAY ANTHING sequel, let’s jump back to reality and discuss what he’s currently working on. Crowe’s next directorial effort is WE BOUGHT A ZOO which is based on the memoir of Benjamin Mee which chronicles a father who moves his family to a rundown animal sanctuary to fulfill his late wife’s dying wish. Matt Damon is set to play the patriarch of the family while Scarlett Johannsson will play the wife suffering with brain cancer. The photos below don’t do much to inspire me (I prefer candid shots from films), but I’m a Cameron Crowe believer and will watch pretty much anything he puts out there just because I dig his style.

WE BOUGHT A ZOO is set to hit theaters on December 23, 2011 and stars: Matt Damon, Scarlett Johannsson, John Michael Higgins, Thomas Hayden Church, Elle Fanning, Patrick Fugit and Angus Macfadyen.
